DVD Description
Welcome back to Ward B4, a backwater in a provincial NHS trust hospital where the glamour has gone the way of the clinical waste.
While unresolved matters simmer, Nurse Kim Wilde deals with the daily drudge and husband Dave’s under threat job, Sister Den Flixter has her work life balance and modern matron Hilary Loftus to occupy her, and Dr Pippa Moore finds life after stool research is anything but plain sailing.
On the ward new admissions come and go, tempers fray, a night shift reveals throws up an interesting patient and a proposed new wing is dangled as a carrot, as the porters, orderlies, medical students, patients and relatives provide the comings and goings over a span of six shifts for Kim, Den and Pippa.
Pippa flirts briefly with Peter Healy, Den eats a microwaved curry, Kim turns against a patient and Hilary ices the cake. B4 once again opens its doors to life on the outer fringes of health care, where the staff and patients are, once again, just getting on.

Beautiful observed NHS based dark comedy. All the characters are fantastic, particularly the consultant Dr Moore who gets it spot on. Very witty script. Me and my wife have been riveted to this full length series, even watched some twice. Hope there will be a third at some point.

Wonderful series. Not very much happens but thats exactly the point, and it's a testimony to the quality of the acting that makes almost nothing happening compulsive viewing. The expressions on the faces of the three main actors says a thousand words about life in this ward and the day to day drudge of what goes on. Please lets have some more episodes

I found Getting On on the iPlayer and was hooked from the first episode.
The first time I watched it I was in stitches (sorry, no pun intended) and the second series was maybe even funnier than the first.
The characters and their interactions with one another are what make it so funny, more so than any satirical medical references.

Getting On - Series 2
It may be a comedy but I haven't seen better acting, each actor is so true to life. We really loved both Series 1 and 2, highly recommended.
